AIDS is a great killer these days which is caused by a virus called HIV. We cannot see through our naked eye, Karan said with a smile. The virus decreases our resistance power to fight against disease, he added.
People should know more about the disease and its bad results. We can only stop AIDS by creating awareness, Karan said.
